We’d like you to meet our new little sweetheart Nikki. She’s an adorable 5lb. 10 year old Maltipoo who will just melt your heart!
Nikki was surrendered to VIP Rescue from a “poor situation” in which she lived in for quite some time. She barely had any human contact, had to scrounge for her next meal, was very underweight, and terrified of the humans who failed her.
One of our Volunteers went to the “house” where she was “living”, it took some time, but eventually was able to safely get her out, and traveled many miles and hours to bring Nikki to her new foster home who was waiting with open arms to help her start her journey to a new and much better life!
Nikki was given a warm bath and groom, and a much needed healthy meal, and given time and patience to just “chill” to try and learn that not all humans are bad.
She quickly became “tinkle pad” trained, is learning leash walking, and has slowly gained some much needed weight! She absolutely loves snuggles from her foster Mom, sleeps in the human bed at night, and enjoys naps in one of the many doggie beds in her foster home. Nikki even gives occasional “smiles” to her foster as if she’s saying, I’m still very nervous, but thank you for saving me”.
Nikki will need an experienced, quieter adult only home, as she is still nervous of anything that moves fast or loud noises. She’d be ok as an “only child” or if you do have another pup at home, it must be a smaller, laid back, calm and gentle doggie. A meet and greet will be required.
Nikki will need a home where someone is home more often than not, preference will be given to those who are retired or work from home as we feel this is what’s best for her.
She will also require regular grooming, so please keep that expense in mind as well.
Nikki has been spayed, is current on vaccines, microchipped, had a dental, and is on heartworm and flea prevention. We are going to be very particular when choosing her new family, and will only accept applications that meet her needs. We promised her we WILL find her that perfect “fur” ever home that she can relax in and enjoy her senior years with, one that she truly deserves. If you feel you meet ALL of her needs, please visit www.viprescue.org to fill out an adoption application.
